C G
Your mouth, it is an ocean
F Am
But your eyes, they are a storm
C G
And though not a word's been spoken
F G C
I feel I have been warned
C G
For there's a cardinal in the dogwood
F Am
There's a raven in the air
C G
But this ballroom is full of vultures
F G C
Why would I ever meet you there
F C
That kind of laughter brings uneasiness
F C
Like teardrops on a summer dress
F C
Like that little lie you won't confess
G
Left a buzzin' in your spine
F C
So forgive me if my heads a mess
F C
Or if my cadence lacks some confidence
F C
I'm just leaning on that splintered fence
G C
Wondering what's on the other side
C G F Am
C G F G C
C G
So if the trumpets sound like trouble
F Am
And the cello sounds like tears
C G
Then why is everybody talking
F G C
With their fingers in their ears
C G
'Cause the drums are distant gunfire
F Am
And the voices shattered hearts
C G
But the harmony like honey
F G C
Sweetly binds us at the start
F C
That kind of laughter brings uneasiness
F C
Like teardrops on a summer dress
F C
Like that little lie you won't confess
G
Left a buzzin' in your spine
F C
So forgive me if my heads a mess
F C
Or if I'm just not making any sense
F C
I'm just climbing up that splintered fence
G Am F G
Tryin to get to the other side
Am F G C
To the other side
